[quote=Anonymous]Consider swapping a few treadmill days with yoga or pilates. Both of these will increase your strength, as well as your flexibility. And help prevent injury. Stronger muscles burn more calories at rest, so they are worth it.

As for diet... different things work for different people.

I find it easier to control my appetite if I don't eat many carbs. My sweet tooth subsides if I stay away from sweets and treat fruit as a dessert. If you can manage to slowly shrink your portions, your appetite will also slowly shrink. (Or in my case, get horribly sick--to the point of being unable to eat--for a week to reset your appetite; but I don't recommend or wish that on anyone.) I'm also in the camp of whole dairy is better for you than fat-free.

Eat as many veggies as you'd like. All meals and snacks should have fiber, protein and good fats.

and if after tracking your calories for a few weeks, you find that the math isn't adding up right, get your thyroid function tested.[/quote]
